Mobile IP Activation

The modem makes use of mobile IP to manage a truly mobile computer. You may use a Mobile IP stack on the computer or use the Mobile IP stack built into the modem.

By default, the modem is configured to work with a third-party stack. If you desire this mode of operation, skip ahead to the “Configure Encryption

Settings”. Otherwise, you must activate the Mobile Node functionality within the modem as well the security-related parameters.

NOTE: The Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) uses a TCP/IP stack to format the data message with standard TCP/IP protocols used on the Internet. The iR1200 modem does not have a TCP/IP stack. The “mobile-IP stack” capability of the iR1200 is required to transmit data on the iDEN network.

S-Registers

S-registers are memory locations in the modem that you can program to meet your communication needs. S-register parameters are numbered from 0 (zero) to 255. Since many of the registers are reserved for internal operation purposes, you are allowed to customize only a subset of the modem’s register.

Programming the S-Register

The following table describes the steps to program an S-Register.

1 From the command mode of your communication software, type ATSn=x where n is the number of the S-register you wish to customize and x is the value that you wish to assign to that register.

2 Press ENTER to execute the command.

!

You may experience undesirable consequences if you modify the S7 or S10 registers from their set default values. For optimal performance, it is recommended that you use the default values set for these two registers.

RFM-4002-5015 Rev 3 87

iR1200 Modem

!

If you write to an S-register that is not programmable or if the value you assigned is invalid, the modem will still return an OK message to the computer screen. The attempted changes will not affect the S-register values.

.

Reading an S-Register Value

The following table describes how to read a value for an S-Register.

1 From the command mode, type ATSn (n= the number of the S-register that you want to read) and press ENTER.

2 The value of the requested S-register displays.

NOTE: If you attempt to read the value of an S-register that is not supported, the modem will display an ERROR message.

This glossary contains terms and definitions used within this guide. It is by no means exhaustive of terms that you may come across.

ASCII

American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standard set of 128 characters, symbols and control codes used for computer communications.

ASCII characters require 7 bits of data to send, but are often sent 8 bits at a time with the extra bit being a zero.

Asynchronous Communication

A method of sending data in which the bits can be sent at random times. Data transmission is not synchronized to a clock. With asynchronous transmission, each character is transmitted one at a time with a “start” bit at the beginning and one or more “stop” bits at the end. Any amount of time can elapse before the next character can be sent.

AT Command

An order entered into the computer to request your modem to perform certain actions, such as dial a telemodem number. AT commands are Hayescompatible modem commands.

A computer network that spans over a relatively small area. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings.

Mobile IP

An IP enhancement that provides forwarding of traffic to moving users. It uses agents in the user’s home network and in all foreign networks. When logging on to a remote network, users register their presence with the foreign agent, and the home agent forwards the packets to the remote network. Mobile IP permits mobile devices to inform a “visited” network that it is present and then arrange to have its home network forward data to it automatically.

Modem

An electronic device enabling digital data to be sent over analog transmission facilities. Converts a digital signal to analog and back to digital again. Modem stands for Modulator/De-Modulator.

NMEA

National Marine Electronics Association. An association that defines marine electronic interface standards for the purpose of serving the public interest.

Non-Routable IP

A communications protocol that contains only a device address and not a network address. It does not incorporate an addressing scheme for sending data from one network to another. Examples of non-routable protocols are NetBIOS and DEC’s LAT protocols. Also some TCP’IP addresses are considered nonroutable.

Non-Volatile Memory

Memory that holds its content without power. Permanently stored information that is not lost when you power off. ROMs, PROMs, EPROMs and flash memory are examples.

RFM-4000-5015 Rev1 107

iR1200 Modem

Packet of Data

A bundle or block of data, organized in a specific way for transmission.

Parallel Port

A low speed port, usually located on the rear of a computer which usually connects to printers. Parallel ports transmit data simultaneously over eight

“parallel wires” one byte at a time (as opposed to a serial port, which transmits data one bit at a time).

Parity Bit

Parity is a process for detecting whether bits of data have been altered during transmission. A Parity Bit is a non-data bit that is added to a group of data bits to check for transmission errors. Parity Bits are used in Parity checking which is an error-checking method in asynchronous transmission. The parity bit tells the receiving end of a transmission whether there should be an even or odd number of bits contained in that transmission.

PIN

Personal Identification Number.

PING

(Packet INternet Groper) An Internet utility used to determine whether a particular IP address is online. It is used to test and debug a network by sending out a packet and waiting for a response. A program used to test whether or not a network component is available.

PPP

(Point-to-Point Protocol) The most common method for connecting to the

Internet. PPP provides serial line (dial-up) connectivity, authentication, compression and encryption between two computers and can handle several protocols simultaneously.

Protocol

Hardware and software standards that govern transmission between two communications devices. There are several layers, or levels, of functionality in a protocol. Each layer may be available, as a separate software component, or several layers may be combined into one.

Public IP Address

See Routable IP Address.

RAM

Random Access Memory is the working memory of the computer where you can enter information and call up data.

Routable IP Address (Public IP Address)

A communications protocol that contains a network address as well as a device address, allowing data to be routed from one network to another. Examples of routable protocols are SNA, OSI, TCP/IP, XNS, IPX, AppleTalk and DECnet.

RS-232

A communication standard for digital data. Specifies a number of signal and control lines. RS-232 is often associated with a 25-pin connector called DB-25.

Serial Port

An input/output (I/O) port transmits data one bit at a time, as opposed to a parallel port that transmits multiple (usually eight) bits simultaneously.

RS232C is a common serial interface standard.

Service Specific Software

A program designed for a designated online service such as AOL.

Start Bit

A data bit used in asynchronous transmission to signal the beginning of the character.

Stop Bit

A data bit used in asynchronous transmission to signal the end of the character.

System Administrator

The person responsible for monitoring computer activity in a specified area, such as a company.

Synchronous Communication

A method of sending digital data in which the bits come at fixed, rather than random, times and are synchronized to a clock.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

The two best-know Internet protocols, often erroneously thought of as one protocol. TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and guarantees that packets

RFM-4000-5015 Rev1 109

iR1200 Modem will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. IP acts as a postal system, allowing you to address a package and drop it in the system, but doesn’t provide a direct link between you and the recipient. TCP/IP, on the other hand, establishes a connection between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth for a period of time.

Terminal Mode

The mode that accepts AT commands. Also known as Command Mode. When your modem is in this mode, it is waiting to receive AT commands that you type from your communications software.

Transmission Rate

The rate at which data is transferred measured in bits per second. Common transfer rates are 9.6bps / 19200bps / 57600bps / 115200bps

UTC

Universal Time Coordinated. Uniform atomic time system/standard that is maintained by the US Naval Observatory. UTC defines the local solar mean time at the Greenwich Meridian.

UTC Offset

The difference between local time and UTC (Example: UTC – EST = 5 hours).
